More comfortable than ever, Cameron Johnson’s senior season at UNC is off to a strong start

Posted Dec 19, 2018
In his second season at North Carolina after transferring from Pitt, Cameron Johnson has averaged a team-best 16.6 points per game, hitting 53 percent of his shots from the field and 49 percent from three, all career-bests. In some sense, Johnson saw all this coming. “When I returned to practice in the fall I felt pretty good. I felt like I got my shot a little better over the summer." (Beaver County Times)
